Believe in Yourself - TW Jones

About this episode

TW Jones shares his inspiring journey into medicine and the importance of believing in oneself despite discouragement from others.

TW Jones is a Pediatric Infectious Diseases attending at the U of U. He was recommended to be guest on this episode so I really didn’t know what to expect. Which makes the happenstance of hearing his journey into medicine all the more powerful. To anyone who has been told that you aren’t cut out to do something, the pre-med advisor who discourages you to apply, a family member tells you they don’t think you have what it takes. For those who have been stopped along the way, this episode is for you. I am not saying it will always work out as you want, but I am saying believing in yourself and what you want to do above what other people think you can do, is a powerful state to be in, one that will help you find a meaningful career.
